31/Oregon Love You, Be Safe. / / Writing What I Could'nt Say Out Loud. / / NoctraWrites.
All I do is dig up pain. I am heavy. Please forget me. I live in my head, stay in bed, pretend. No, I do not understand. This is my first time living with this. Everyone seems to know which road to take. Can I borrow your map? I am still standing at your sign— waiting, wishing someone would open a door and tell me what comes next. Please tell me what comes next. Tell me the water is safe. Tell me I will not disappear if I jump in. Until that day comes, I keep staring at the door handle, wondering if it was unlocked the whole time.

Please tell me what comes next.
don’t know where you went but I still talk like you’re listening Like somewhere above me there’s a version of you just out of reach but still close enough to feel I call out in the quiet sometimes like silence might answer back if I say your name right I don’t need everything back I just need a moment— one breath!! Where it feels like you’re here again. Come back down to earth for a second Let me see you Let me know I’m not just talking to the sky I miss you in ways I can’t explain out loud In ways that don’t really leave And I know you may not come back… I just needed to say it anyway

Talking To The Sky
Stop lying to yourself. You don’t work better under pressure You’re just used to surviving in a panic You do care You just learned to act numb about it over the years so disappointment hurts less You don’t need more time You’re scared the version of yourself that finally tries for real might still fail And maybe the hardest truth is this healing doesn’t happen when you finally feel motivated It happens when you become exhausted of becoming someone your soul no longer recognizes.

Stop Lying to Yourself
In every letter I wrote in every morning I still made it through in every star I stared at for too long I loved you there I meant all of it No exaggeration No perfect words to fill the quiet air Whatever I have left in me has been given to you And I don’t think time is enough for this Not even close... If eternity is real it still wouldn’t be long enough to finish what I feel

Not Even Eternity
I never met God with a crown or sitting on a throne. I met God in the middle of the street in the rain at 3AM begging for help with shaking hands. I met God at the top of a four-story building looking down thinking maybe some people were never meant to be saved. I met God sleeping alone in a room year after year while my mind slowly turned against me. I met God while a brown book sat untouched on a shelf collecting dust while I collected pain. I met God through addiction. Through depression. Through nights so dark I stopped recognizing myself in the mirror. I met God when everybody else left and all I had were my thoughts echoing back at me. I met God when I finally broke down enough to admit I could not carry this life alone anymore. Nobody told me faith would look like this. I thought God would feel like a church choir or sunlight through stained glass. Instead He felt like surviving another night I thought would destroy me. And somehow still waking up the next morning.

I Met God
Words meet me right where I am. Not where I pretend to be. Not where I wish I was. But here, in the quiet mess of now. Some days they come gentle, like water finding cracks in stone. Other days they come heavy, like truth I can’t outrun. And I don’t need them to be perfect. I just need them to be honest, and to sit with me without asking me to change before the ink dries. Because even when I don’t have answers, even when I don’t feel whole, the words still come. And somehow they understand me better than I understand myself.

Words meet me right where I am.
God is a poet. We wouldn’t understand sunlight without rain. Every season, every chapter is written with purpose. God is a mirror. Everything we are is reflected back in time. God is a mirror. God is a poet. And we are the page where both are written. God is a mirror. God is a poet. God is in the quiet details we overlook. Nothing is random, even what breaks us. Pain is often a language we don’t understand yet. Seasons are lessons dressed as time. Some endings are just beginnings in disguise. What we lose teaches us what we were holding onto. Not everything that hurts is meant to destroy you. Some things return only after you change.

God Is a Poet
Don’t go into a grocery store hungry, they say. Because everything starts to look like what you need. The shelves shine brighter, the cravings speak louder, and you leave with things that were never on the list. So don’t go looking for love when you are lonely. Loneliness can make attention feel like affection, can make red flags look soft in dim light, can make empty hands seem holy. You will reach for people who were never meant to feed you. And call it fate because it arrived when you were starving. Better to learn how to nourish yourself first. So when love comes, you choose with peace— not hunger.

Hungry Hearts
you don’t notice at first. It settles into everything— hands, rooms, days. You try to clean it. Try to make it quiet. But something always stirs it back up. A sound. A place. A memory you didn’t ask for. And there it is again— softer now, but still there. I’ve learned it doesn’t leave. It just changes how it moves through me. Some days it hurts. Some days it just passes through.

Grief is dust
I tried to run away. I tried to go back to what destroyed me. I wanted to suffer. My pain felt like comfort, so I would swallow my guilt like a bottle of ***** I would crush powder over picture frames of old friends that will never see 31. But God replied, “I’m not done with you.”
